Hi there. I just obtained this stereo/record player console today from my brother's barn. Model #1P3625 run number 1
Does anyone have any idea what year it could be? I would also love advice as to how to clean the cloth speaker covers. Thanks so very much, Gossamer

Most likely a 60's model.
Rug shampoo used carefully and sparingly with a brush/sponge can clean up grilles.
But most importantly, the electronics and player will need restoration from being old and sitting in a barn - IF, it's not too corroded by now.
Until then, I would not plug the thing in, it's just not reliable or safe to use.
The Internet is a marvelous thing, however it's not a good substitute for actually being there.
